“Circe of the Sudanese dancing world. A glitter of tinsel, a jingle of myriad dangling coins, vivid touches of scarlet among embroidered vestments, shapely arms that curve and float in graceful butterfly gyrations a lithe mahogany form of exquisite contour, and a pair of large black animated eyes; this is the Nubian dancing-girl—a siren of the lands of the desert.”

En la mitología griega, Circe es una bruja y diosa. En la mayoría de los relatos, Circe es descrita como hija del dios del sol Helios y de la oceánide Perse. Circe era famosa por su vasto conocimiento de pociones y hierbas. A través del uso de estos y una varita mágica o bastón, transformaba a sus enemigos, o a aquellos que la ofendían, en animales. Algunas fuentes la llaman ninfa.
